1 Claim. (Cl. -320) This invention relates to a sheet holder for beds. It has for its main objects to provide such a combination structure that Will be highly satisfactory for the purpose intended, simple in structure, comparatively cheap to manufacture, easy to keep in serviceable condition, and very durable.

It is well known that when a person is inclined to roll about excessively while sleeping the under sheet of the bed will crumple as a result of its edges sliding out from under the edges of the mattress. Such trouble is eliminated by means of the present invention holding the sheet in flat comfortable condition.

Other objects and advantages will be seen from the drawings and description.

By referring to the drawings it will be observed that Fig. l is a perspective view of a pad made according to this invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a cover for use in combination with a mattress therein; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cover.

Similar reference numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the invention comprises a pad 1 with a rectangular shaped groove 2 formed in its under face '3. The companion part comprises a cover 4 made of strong cloth and provided with a rectangular shaped raised padded portion 5 of a size to removably fit into the groove of the pad when placed together for use. The cover is provided with a zipper 6. A mattress 7 of a size to removably fit within the cover is for use when used upon a regular structure spring 8. The spring may be provided with a groove 9 with lower springs 8' for the raised portion 5 of the cover to fit therein with mattress in the cover.

From the foregoing it will appear that if a regular bed sheet is placed for use with edges inserted between the raised portion of the cover and the groove in the pad it will remain flat and comfortable for use. Also the sheet could be placed between the top of the spring and cover with the mattress therein.

The various parts may be made of any material suitable for the purpose, but I prefer to use such cloth and padding material generally used for manufacturing pads and mattresses. Also the parts may be made in different sizes and capacities depending on the sizes of the beds on which to be used.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not wish to limit same to the exact and precise details of structure, and reserve the right to make all modifications and changes so long as they remain within the scope of the invention and the following claim.

Having described my invention I claim:

A sheet holder for beds comprising, an envelope type cover made of strong cloth, a zipper mounted in two edges of said cover, a rectangular shaped raised portion integral on one face of the cover, a bed spring, said bed spring having a rectangular shaped groove formed in its edge portion of a size for the raised rectangular portion on the cover fit removably therein, a mattress, said mattress being enclosed in said cover with the under face of the cover being in contact with the spring with the rectangular raised portion on the cover in the groove in the spring; said assembled parts being adapted to hold the edges of a bed sheet positioned with its edges between the said raised rectangular portion on the cover and the groove in the spring to thus prevent the sheet from becoming crumpled when in use by a person while sleeping on the said assembly of parts.
